The first section of chapter 2 played blind on hard difficulty with a custom party. In this part you have to reach the ice temple and there are lots of challenging foes out to stop you including Illium Ar'Ghrenoir and his band of druids and rangers, the Queen Remorhaz and dragon hybrid Sherincal.

This playthrough is a raw, warts n' all blind capture, with little editing for "entertainment" sake, so it includes all my inventory management, buying, selling, levelling, travelling to and fro etc. It's just meant to be a raw archive of my playthrough so it is what it is. I have spliced footage at save points if I had to reload, which I usually only do on a party wipe or if a crucial character died before I got the raise dead ability, obviously there will be splices between different gaming sessions too and whenever I stopped the recording to check the footage. Because I'm editing losslessly to preserve quality I can only splice on keyframes, which in my editor equates to about every four seconds, so if you're wondering why the splicing is sometimes loose, that's why.

I had some technical problems with audio while capturing this, it would only record in Windows Game DVR and sometimes it would capture with distorted or "skipping" sound. Whenever this happens I've mixed in parts of the game soundtrack over the top as it makes the bad sound more tolerable. It doesn't happen often though and I didn't want to scrap this 100 hour playthrough because of it. In this part it occurred twice, near the start and during the Sherincal battle.
